IRFFERsON DAVIS.

BY special request we republish on
the sixth page the criticism by Mr..
Jefferson Davis OF the paperp inted in
the April number Of Macmillan's Mega
sine eulogi&iDg Gen. Robert Il. Lee. A
careful reading Of It will, we are sure
convince any candid person ths. there
Ia noiutention on the part Of Mr.. Davis
AS has been suggested to us-.o
abridge or curtail in the least degree,
II such thing could be successfully
done, the high respect and affection
In which the greatest general OF the
war is held by the people Of the South
No man has ever written or spoken in
terms Of loitier eulogy OF Lee than Mr..
Davis and no man living or
dead had better opportunities
of knowing Lee at his
best than the man who guided the
civil affairs Of the Confederate States
Government from its inception in
Montgomery to its collapse at Char
lotte. Whatever his errors OF judg-
ment as 10 men or affairs, his hope
and courage were uniailing quantities
even after defeat was a ioregone con-
elusIon to his Cabinet, to Congress and
the generals In command Of the armies
In the lsld. He neither hindered nor
hampered Gen. Lee, nor did he con-
6ict with him. They were always in
accord, and to the last sustained mu-
tual respect that Was never leesened.
Lee was the greatest man Of the civil
war. Hjs aelf.restraint, self command
and uneullied moral qualities made
him so. He WAS the greatest general
by achievement and success, the grf at.
est soldier greatest in technical sbil-
ity, in power Of organization, celebrity
OF movement and prehensivenes
Ia combination aud In command over
men.

RAILROAD THIEVES.

CHICAGO, ILL, May For several
months past the freight cars OF the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific

d, red. The thieves took everything
possible, from grain to general mer-
chsndise. Detectives were set at
work and soon discovered that the
robberies were committed in the town
of Lake, and that a large gang OF
thieves were engaged in the work, On
the night of April 10Th, the detectives
mounted guard on train OF merchan-
disc standing near Forty.seventh
street. They were rewarded by the
arrival of the thieves, who proceeded
to break open car loaded with hides.
The officers permitted them to get
we'll along and then endeavored to
capture them. A stock train was
backing down ths track, however, and
as the plunderers lesped to the
ground this train cut them eff
completely from all the officers save
one, named William Allen, who in
stantly opened fire. The fire
was as promptly returned and
blow from car link upon
the head stretched out Allen.
at this moment another detective,
who had succeeded 10 swinging him
self through the moving train, came
upon the scene and discharged his
pistol at the fugitives. He was almost
able to overtake one, whom he recog-
nixsd to be q burglar named Fred
Keyzsr. Since that time the Rock
Island officers have been quietly at
work and have discovered portion OF
the gang in the persons of Pat Nc
Cauley, Edward Mushler, Joe Morris,
Fred Keyser and Robert johnson, all
of them known 10 be bad characters.

Interesting Facts.

MARQUETTE. Cal, June Z. 1857.
Mr.. EDIToR-Supposing that your
readers will be interested in hearing
from this place occasionally, | will
endeavor to supply the demand. There
have been so many new pla ces
started in Southern California of late
that it might be well for me to first tell
Just where our beautiful TOWNSHIP is
located. 1t is at the base of "Old
Badly" and on the new Santa Fe rail
road about one and half miles east OF
the celebrated Euclid avenue of Ontario.
Being several miles north, it is of course
much higher up the graceful slope of
the foothills, nearer the mountains. and
overlooks the entire valley in all direc-
tions. The view from any portion of
this town is superb and grand beyond
description, your readers must come and
see it for themselves. Suffice 1t for the
present TO say that the eye takes in the
whole of the rich and fertile valley from
Pomona and Rincon, over the Chino
ranch to Riverside. San Bernardino and
Cotton. This town is differently planned
from that of any other town in Southern
California. The towusite is an exact
square of l60 acres and running at right
angles through the center are the two
main avenues, which are 100
feet wide. In the center of
the town is a large park containing
five fountains. one large one in the
center and one at each of the four
corners. The park is artistically laid
out and fronting i. on all sides are the
business lots for stores, hotels, etc.
Large forces of men are busy in all di-
rections building stores, hotels, etc.,
and it cannot be many months before
our town takes its place as one of the
most popular and prosperous among the
foothill towns. We are young and
small as yet, but keep your eye on us,
Mr.. Editor, and watch our growth.
